One final piece of data - I CAN connect the XP machine to a share on
the 2K machine and read/write to it, but the XP machine tells me that
the win98 machine is not accessible (you may not have permission to
use this network resource). OTOH, the win2K machine can see,
read/write files to the 98 machine fine.

grrrrr.



Time to uninstall ZoneAlarm.


I did, and there's no change. The XP machine can't see the win2K
machine in the network neighborhood, although it can explicitly link
to shared folders on it, and the XP machine cannot connect to the
win98 machine shares even though it DOES see it in the network
neighborhood. The win32K machine cannot see the XP machine at all
either.

I have seen a few posts like this one before. In each and every
case the OP was prepared to bet a large amount of money on
not having a firewall installed, and in each and every case it turned
out that it was a firewall that he was not aware of. Now I'm not
saying that yours is a firewall issue - I'm simply stating my experience.
